I know some people have said not to let it bother them...but think about this point. I'm assuming that when these people are proxy baptized it is recorded somewhere in Mormon records. If this is seen by others, it makes it look like your ancestors supported or believed something they did not.

Imagine if a university did "proxy graduations" and all your life you knew your grandpa had gone to Harvard, only to see his name on an alum roster for DeVry (LOL). That ties his name with something he has no connection with, and peoples' names are still very important possessions.

You shouldn't be able to use someone's name to support something without their permission or their family's permission.
